Hello, I am running Mint 20.3 Cinnamon (ubuntu-based) on a Lenovo B590 as my main laptop since some time. Updating the system never used to be a problem, but more recently every time I try to update it fails to download some of the most important basic updates. I am still somewhat new to Linux, I have noticed all the updates are being downloaded from "archive.ubuntu..." etc. etc. I have read something about ubuntu having problems recently with it's development and the update repo being less reliable. Is this true? Should I switch to a Debian based system like Debian Mint? If so, how can I transfer program data over, is there any cross compatibility? Sorry for wrapping multiple questions together, I'll appreciate any help
